Overview:	The Electrical Engineering stream of the Bachelor of Engineering (for students commencing in 2008 and later years). See Bachelor of Engineering (B-ENG)
Objectives:	See Bachelor of Engineering (B-ENG)
Structure & Available Subjects:	Completion of 400 points of study culminating in a project in the final year. The structure of the Bachelor of Engineering degree requires completion of specific subjects as part of this stream. The majority of subjects have one or more prerequisites and therefore the sequence in which subjects are taken is very important. It is unlikely that prerequisite waivers will be granted for these engineering subjects and therefore students should take care to select subjects in one study period that satisfy prerequisites for subjects in later study periods.
Subject Options:	The following subjects are required for this stream of the Bachelor of Engineering. First Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 1) Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: ENGR10004 Engineering Systems Design 1 Semester 1, Semester 2 12.50 PHYC10003 Physics 1 Semester 1 12.50 MAST10005 Calculus 1 Semester 1, Semester 2 12.50 ENGR10003 Engineering Systems Design 2 Not offered in 2011 12.50 PHYC10004 Physics 2: Physical Science & Technology Semester 2 12.50 MAST10006 Calculus 2 Semester 1, Semester 2 12.50 Plus Two breadth subjects (i.e. 25.00 credit points total) N.B. Students who have completed VCE Specialist Mathematics (or equivalent) are exempt from MAST10005 Calculus 1 and should therefore enrol in MAST10006 Calculus 2 and MAST10007 Linear Algebra. Students with a high level of achievement in mathematics may enrol in both MAST10008 Accelerated Mathematics 1 and MAST10009 Accelerated Mathematics 2 instead of both MAST10006 Calculus 2 and MAST10007 Linear Algebra. Students with a high level of achievement in physics may enrol in PHYC10001 Physics 1 Advanced and PHYC10002 Physics 2 Advanced instead of both PHYC10003 Physics 1 and PHYC10004 Physics 2: Physical Science & Technology. Second Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 2) Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: COMP20005 Engineering Computation Not offered in 2011 12.50 MAST10007 Linear Algebra Summer Term, Semester 1, Semester 2 12.50 ELEN20005 Foundations of Electrical Networks January, Semester 2 12.50 ENGR20004 Engineering Mechanics January, Semester 1, Semester 2 12.50 Plus one of Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: MAST20029 Engineering Mathematics Summer Term, Semester 1, Semester 2 12.50 MAST20026 Real Analysis with Applications Semester 1, Semester 2 12.50 Plus One breadth subject (i.e. 12.50 credit points total) One science elective (i.e. 12.50 credit points total) One approved elective (i.e. 12.50 credit points total) N.B. Students who have completed VCE Specialist Mathematics (or equivalent) and completed either both MAST10006 Calculus 2 and MAST10007 Linear Algebra or both MAST10008 Accelerated Mathematics 1 and MAST10009 Accelerated Mathematics 2 in Year 1 can replace MAST10007 Linear Algebra in the table above with a science elective. A science elective is any subject available as science credit in the Bachelor of Science course (B-SCI). Refer to that course entry for a full list of subjects. Science electives may have prerequisites. An approved elective is a science elective or an engineering elective or breadth. Third Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 3) Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: ELEN30010 Digital System Design Semester 1 12.50 ELEN30009 Electrical Network Analysis and Design Semester 1 12.50 ELEN30011 Electrical Device Modelling Semester 2 12.50 ELEN30012 Signals and Systems Semester 2 12.50 ELEN30013 Electronic System Implementation Semester 2 12.50 Plus Two approved electives (i.e. 25.00 credit points total) One engineering elective (i.e. 12.50 credit points total) N.B. An engineering elective is any subject offered by the Melbourne School of Engineering. A list of subjects on offer can be obtained by an 'Advanced Search' of this Handbook. Search for Faculty: 'Engineering'. Fourth Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 4) Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: ELEN90067 Electrical Engineering Capstone Project Year Long, Semester 1 25 ELEN90056 Electronic Circuit Design Semester 1 12.50 ELEN90066 Embedded System Design Semester 2 12.50 Plus Electrical Engineering electives selected from: Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: ELEN90054 Probability and Random Models Semester 1 12.50 ELEN90057 Communication Systems Semester 2 12.50 ELEN90055 Control Systems Semester 1 12.50 ELEN90058 Signal Processing Semester 2 12.50 ELEN90059 Lightwave Systems Semester 1 12.50 ELEN90061 Communication Networks Semester 2 12.50 ELEN90060 Power System Analysis Semester 1 12.50 ELEN90062 High Speed Electronics Semester 2 12.50
Notes:	An equivalent semester-long version of ELEN90067 Electrical Engineering Capstone Project will be available in semester 1. This alternative version should only be undertaken when course planning makes it difficult to complete the year-long version.
